Playing with the past

Digging through old photos, I found one of myself with some close childhood friends...our baby goats. This picture was taken in 1983 by my neighbor, Eddie, an older fellow with a very warm heart who I thought of as a grandfather. Many years later, when I could appreciate such things, he gave me this photo and it is still one of my favorites. My daughter is only slightly younger than I was in the picture, so seeing her interact with our baby goats and generous neighbors is very much like stepping into the past to relive my childhood.

Until recently, I hadn't noticed the detailed shadow cast onto the wall behind me. We don't own any good picture editing programs, but I fiddled with it enough in Paint to produce a draft logo for our little farm.

I have one more (completely different) idea for a logo, but it's going to take more playtime. What do you think? My husband says it's weird.

About Me

Our backyard Vermont farm was my early retirement from research science. Now it is a passion to live simply, while providing income to sustain our family. Learning as we go, using knowledge borrowed from the internet and books, our family of five is attempting to practice skills lost from my great-grandparent's generation. Thanks for tuning in.
